THE REASON.

A request for New Years poem elic-
tied the following from a contributor of
the TRIBUNE.
Alone he sat at the break of day
In his cabin alone and drear.
Sleep had not come its tribute to pay
The last night of the dying year.
His heart was sad, as he looked back
On the year, and on years before.
AS over the past he revived the track
Of his wand d'rings, so long and sore.
The faces of those he loved at home
Came up, passed in fond review.
The father who warned him not to roam
And his mother, SO loving and true
The brothers, then boys, now grown up
Had remained through all the years
His sisters, the girls, he called them then,
Women, with wives hopes and fears.
How is it with him this new year morn.
This day of the holiday wish,
Why is he sad, and why does he mourn
What's the cause of his souls anguish?
Do his thoughts of home depress him so
Have his wanderings such an effect
As to make him hold his head so low?
No, its not that, | hardly suspect.
With the last iron dollar his partner went
For bottle of bulge to the store.
Outside lies the partner badly bent,
The bottle broke, just in front Of the
door,
Yours cheerfully,
Y. Ii. TINS.

Wrong Impression Corrected.

A rumor has been circulated to some ex
| tent, by outside parties that the city Of
Great Falls is to be built on the north and
west side of the river instead of the south
and east side where it has been plated
and where already large amount Of mon
ey has been expended in buildings and i'm
provements.
To any person who may be inclined to
credit so absurd ru1nor, we will state
there is no truth in it. The east side was
selected for the townsite after mature de-
liberation, and careful examination of
both sides of the river.
The following are some of the reasons
for locating the town On the east side:
1. It is brought much closer to the wa
ter-power, being on the interior line.
2. It has greatly superior drainage
the land rising by gradual ascent from
the waters edge to the east, over the town
site, distance of two miles.
| 8. It is the right side of the river for
furnishing the best water supply, namely,
from the Giant Spring, whose unyarying
| flow is sufficient to supply the city of New
York. This water is nearly as pure as
rain water, and its temperature is unchang
ed throughout the year.
The fact that this great fountain can
never be contaminated by the drainage of
the town, and that it will always be afford
ed to the residents of Great Falls in amply
supply, and at an exceedingly low price,
is of itself a sufficient reason for locating
the town on the east side of the river. Mr..
Hill and his associates have wisely secur-
ed the river frontage on both sides of the
Missouri for several miles and up the Sun
river long distance from its mouth, thus
enabling them to completely control the
townsite question at this place. 1t is not
unlikely that these lands on the west side
will be used for stock yards, feeding and
pasture grounds, thus bringing that bust
ness close to the town, and at the same
time separating it from the town by the
river.
It may not be out of place to state here
that it will be the policy of the townsite
company to afford to the residents of Great
Falls, water, fuel and gaslight at much
lower rates than they are afforded to the
residents of any other western town. The
inexhaustible supply of water and the
power to pump it, and also the coal fields,
at the very borders of the town, will GER
tainly enable them to do this. tits evident
that such liberal policy in these matters
will add thousands to the population of
Great Falls.

Good News From Texas.

10 the surprise of everyone Texas
IS now threshing the finest wheat crop
ever grown in the State. The yield
per acre Is from Is to 81 bushels.
General average over 20 bushels. Not
much oats threshed yet, but I think
the crop will fall little short in the
average yield per acre. The crop is
large enough. and buyers are propos.
ing to pay only Is to 10 cents per
bushcl. Wheat is selling at so cents.
and l believe Fannin County will
make over 100000 bushels, or 20
bushels for every inhabitant.
We are having good rains, which
insure an enormous corn crop, per-
haps the largest ever grown in the
State. Cotton is considerably below
an average at this time of year. Some
of it was lost and all of it was dam.
aged by the wet weather in May and
early part of June. The weather has
been intensely hot, which has kept the
cotton from being all lost. Grass was
never better, and stock in fine condi.
ton. Rains have been general all
over the State for the last three
months, and our two years drouh
s almost forgotten. We expect q big

Clean Up the Windfalls.

Young fruit that falls from the trees
should be destroyed every day. If hogs
run under the trees the fallen fruit will
be taken care of by them, but if not
then every specimen should be gather
ed and burned each morning. These
fallen peaches have worms (curculio)
IN them-this is what caused them to
fall. In a very short time the worms
will come out and 60 into the ground,
where they will pass through
their transformations, and soon
come forth as minute flying beetles,
Every fallen peach will be apt to turn
out one beetle at least. The beetles
will fly up into the tree, sting moro
peaches, more worms will hatch and
more fruit will fall, and so ON till the
peaches are ripe. By the time they
are ripe the beetles will be so numer-
Gus that nearly every specimen in the
Tree will be stung and have worm in
It. That's how you come TO have

fungus plants, similar to those which
form mildew, smut, mold, etc. Others
assert that this rusty appearance is
caused by oxidized sap, which exudes
from the rind through punctures made
in it by microscopic mites like spiders;
and the latter is the prevailing theory
at present
But it seems that rust does not
affiict oranges grown in low hummuck
grounds, and, furthermore, that it may
sometimes be prevented by proper at
tention to the condition of the tree,
and by supplying certain lacking ele-
ment to the soil in which it grows.
The subject is full of interest, and if
some scientific man could suggest d
simple and practical remedy for the
evil he might achieve a measure of the

Poultry and Pet Stock Associations.

Captain ed. c. Truett, the success.
full poultry breeder, of Franklin, Tenn,
claims that the many advantages of a
poultry and pet stock association to a
county or State are too numerous to
mention. Where there are as many as
nall dozen breeders of thoroughbred
poultry they should form an associa-
tlon and enact some code for a rule of
action, and should be an integral part
OF the county which should be also
part OF a State association, which
should have connection with the Ma.
tlonal association. These associations
